I had finished my armed guard training in 1996 and was poised to take a 
$14 an hour job carrying a .38, I was also engaged to be married, and 
took a $10 an hour entry level tech supprt job instead.

Bizzare coincidence I once worked as a guard for a rehab facility

A guy at a bus station once said I looked familiar, he asked if I was 
ever in Fort Worth, I said I used to work in rehab there, he asked me how 
long I'd been clean for... 

I didn't have the heart to tell him I was the guard, you know on the 
outside.
